The most common conditions treated with shockwave therapy are:

What is Shockwave Therapy?
Based on high energy radial soundwaves generated through the specifically designed probe, the unit delivers high energy shockwaves into the underlying tissues. This has shown through clinical research to increase blood flow and improve healing. The resultant effect of this leads to the process of ligament and tendon repair.
